Its a shame. I like both the Grand Am for the focus on non-manufacturer teams and I also enjoy seeing Audi and Panoz battling in the ALMS (even though it has been a bit one sided).

The problem comes from the fact that the hard core sportscar fan wants to see the pedigreed manufacturers all duelling. However, the manufacturers cannot be trusted to stay in the series. Most chicken out when the competition gets hot. The Grand Am addresses this but the fans have not embraced the series.

Sportscar racing is not like NASCAR which is driver oriented. The car is a huge part of the equation in sportscar racing because they are so exotic. I like to see both personally.
